I'm all about comfort though, couldn't care less about style. I'm the guy who wears sweatpants to a bar and doesn't give a crap.

Those Siennas when you trick them out with leather seats and the DVD players for the kids and the premium sound systems with the MP3 blue tooth; it's very chill. Very comfortable.

Besides, you can't have a Porsche and a 'Vette when you need to cart a couple young'ns around. A million might make me rich, but it wouldn't take the practical out of me.

Re: If you had a million dollars...
 

Honestly, I don't need a lot in life to make me happy. I'd probably sell my current house and move into one about the same size that had a finished or unfinished basement. I would redo the basement totally to make it into and arcade and theater room.

Since it would be subterranean, it would feel like an earthquake with the sound system I'd have down there. The rest would be divided equally into investments so I could live on that the rest of my life.

That, and two chicks at the same time.

I'll agree with you on vans. While the idea itself sounds a little lame, my parents had a Dodge Caravan that I drove while my car was getting fixed for about two months. I had just gotten my first job ever and money was FLOWING in, so I basically pimped this thing out with a crazy sound system, tint, LCDs and a DVD player. People BEGGED to ride with me home from school. If you do it right, you can't beat a nice comfy van.

i was thinking the same thing. you could get a tricked out escalade with a dvd player, then the kids are happy, and you ride in style

Re: If you had a million dollars...
 

Refinance and pay down some of my current mortgage, so that my monthly payments are significantly less. Replace my car with something a bit more roomy (01 Honda Civic). Finish off decorating the house, including home theatre, built-in bar in the basement. And invest the rest, make that money work for me.

I'd continue to work for now, but if I invest right, I figure the remains of that million, I could probably retire by 40, move to the beach and surf for the rest of my life. I have no problems not working...I can always find something to do.

Re: If you had a million dollars...
 

I would probably invest about $800,000. I would do about $600K in an equity portfolio and another $300K in some real estate.

With the balance I would probably start a non-profit foundation in memory of my mother.

I hate those things.

I'd rather be a soccer mom than a rapper.

LOL, math much?

$800,000 < $600,000 + $300,000

It's all good, I just found that funny.

Yeah I'm in that boat.

Buying a ride (or anything really) for the sake of style is a concept that completely escapes me.

Re: If you had a million dollars...
 

I'm more of the type of person who'd rather have an older car and fix it up.

My 1997 Mazda B4000 came missing a lower bumper, a cracked valance, and a dented front fender. Now it's totally pimped and I feel much better knowing I did it myself.

Damn you!

I guess I meant $900K. $600 stocks, $300 Real Estate. Balance foundation. :)
